Stories that speak to Malmö

This year we place migration, family, language and belonging at the centre, with films that connect African cinema to the lives of Afro-Swedish audiences.

Malmö is a city shaped by movement, language and belonging. This year's programme reflects that reality through stories about migration, family, community and the work of making a home.

Films such as Barni, Promised Sky and Aisha Can't Fly Away help connect African cinema to conversations already present in Afro-Swedish life.
